The Austrian Philharmonic Silver Coins are part of just one of the most popular annual coin series from Europe. Since the coins debuted in 2008, they have been beloved for their unique design featuring the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. As the official bullion coin of the nation of Austria, these coins are released with the same design every year. Right now, you can purchase the gilded version of the 2018 Austrian Philharmonic 1 oz Silver Coin in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.
Highlights:
The Austrian Philharmonic Silver Coins are unique for collectors and investors in part due to the fact that they use the Euro currency, but are only considered legal tender within the nation of Austria. Fortunately, the value of the silver used to produce these coins far outweighs the denomination of the coins in Euros, so they arent used as currency.
Obverse
On the obverse face of these coins, you will see the depiction of the Great Organ, a large pipe organ found inside the Golden Hall. Locally, this building is known as the Musikverein, and it is where the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra plays. The building is located within Innere Stadt, a neighborhood in the capital city of Vienna.
Reverse
The reverse face of each 2018 Austrian Philharmonic 1 oz Siler Coin features a collection of eight musical instruments. Each of these instruments is traditionally used in the orchestra performances that take place at the Musikverein. Instruments included on this side of the coin are the violin, cello, and harp. The image on this side of the coin is covered in a thin layer of 24-karat gold.
History
The Austrian Mint is one of the oldest operating mints in Europe. This mint opened in 1194 under the rule of Duke Leopold V of Austria, who is known for using 15 tonnes of silver that was paid to him by Richard the Lionheart of England to get safe passage during the Crusades.
